booking Spring 2026 – Reach out now to snag your date!
Documentary Photographer Columbus Ohio
We hang out, we do the stuff you love, and we make memories.
Let’s capture something real.
Those UNO cards scattered on the kitchen table, that fort in the living room, the random halloween pillow that’s still on the couch in February — it’s all a part of what makes your life colorful, wonderful, and yeah – maybe even a little weird.
Where someone might see clutter you (and I) see meaning and what’s significant to your family in this phase of life.
Trust me…
If we were to sanitize all the whimsical and punk-rock things out of your photos, drag you and the kids to a picturesque outdoor spot, and apply “be-on-your-best-behavior” pressure… you’ll get a pretty picture that looks like… a family. But isn’t that kind of missing the whole point?
By authentically showing up where you are at this exact moment in time you will make these photos 10x more special and beautiful.
Daisy has a talent for making the room feel at ease.
Within minutes, I forgot we were taking photos and just started enjoying the moments with my family.
– Beth H.
“Best behavior” is overrated.
I will help you come up with a game plan and provide guidance on how we can structure our time together, but the only thing we can really count on is… kids being wildcards. Rolling with the punches is part of the job though, and finding the beauty in your (imperfect) everyday is my secret superpower!
Bring on the Sour Patch Kid antics, shyness, and pouty lip dramatics – cause those memories will be special in their own unique way! One day your kid will get a kick out of how ridiculous (-ly cute) they looked in those moments.
PLUS they’ll get to see how you loved them like crazy through it all.
Let’s make your new favorite family photos
HOW IT WORKS
1. Say hello
You reach out to me and we chat on the phone. We’ll spend 95% of the call talking about your family (how you spend quality time, dynamics/ personalities, and what you’d love to remember). The other 5% will be saved for explaining the process and, if we fit together like PB&J, scheduling your session!
I’ll send you everything you need to feel prepared and confident. Plus I’m always just an email away :).
2. Have a stress-free session
I come over to your home for an extended playdate, where your kids are most comfortable (which makes the best photos), and where everything you could possibly need is (which makes life easy). We’ll turn your memories into your new favorite photos.
Plus we’ll grab that coveted mantel photo for the old folks – in your style though!
3. The Big reveal
Just 4 weeks later, you’ll receive a slideshow and a gallery will full access to ALL the digital files. Bring on the tears! Just like that, you’ve got incredible family photos without ever having to leave the comfort of home.
It’s so easy you’ll probably want to do it again next year … so go ahead and tell the kids Daisy can’t wait to see them again soon!
We just lived out our authentic, family weekend. We didn’t ‘over-plan’ the session. We didn’t spend an hour getting ready.
Daisy just came over, and we went about our Saturday. I’ll cherish these photos forever.

Short Story
1 hour, ~30 images
*Only available to returning clients, or those who are already booked for a 2 or 4-hour session.
$750 (paid in 3 installments)

The most-loved signature session. Two hours is perfect for capturing your morning routine, an outing, or a big slice of your “everyday” at a more relaxed tempo. Also a great option for documentary newborn sessions and couples.
half day
4 hours, 150+ images
$2200 (paid in 3 installments)
An immersive “half-day-in-the-life” storytelling session where I blend into your family’s day, wherever it takes you. Spending more time together means more natural moments where your guard is totally down. You just live your life; I’ll be there to catch it.
You are very welcome here.
I promise to tell your family’s story honestly, beautifully, and in a way that celebrates the best version of yourselves – whatever that may be.
LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, differently-abled, and non-traditionally structured families are whole-heartedly loved here. If this offends you, I am not the photographer for you.
Working with Daisy was the first time I thought of family photos not just as a thing that you do to put on a card, but as a piece of art for our family at this moment in time.
Our photos immediately make me smile – they capture the best parts of us, our fun, and the love we have.
– Chris L.
Every family marches to the beat of their own drum.
At home sessions are about dancing along.
And it’s always a straight up good time.
Honestly we would have just adopted Daisy by the end!
It was a blast and we felt thoroughly cared for and listened to for the whole process.
– Laura R.
